The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association is proud to announce the 2019 CCAA Men’s Volleyball All-Canadians from the PACWEST.

The student-athletes, who are selected by their conference based on performance and contribution to the sport and their team, were honoured at a banquet during the 2019 CCAA Men’s Volleyball National Championship, hosted by Red Deer College in Red Deer, AB on Wednesday.

Simon Friesen
Capilano Blues

Friesen, a two-time CCAA All-Canadian, led the Blues to a tie for second place in the PACWEST with an 18-6 record. The fourth-year setter led the conference with 786 assists. Friesen was also a consistent threat offensively, as well as at the service line and blocking positions. The team captain, Friesen’s role was especially crucial in Capilano’s first season under a new coaching staff as he provided stability and leadership on and off the court.

Reid Marriott
Douglas Royals

The PACWEST Player of the Year led the Royals to a 20-4 record and first-place finish in the conference. Marriott was second in the PACWEST with 3.48 average kills per set. The second-year outside hitter has exceptional athletic ability and strong academic foundations. Despite being a sophomore, Marriott has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities with his teammates, peers and the entire college community. He is also involved with Volleyball BC and various grassroots community initiatives in coaching and volunteering.
